I need this for a website I'm setting up so that users can download from several different locations around the world. I don't want users to have to type in their password twice. I presume there is no way to do this via basic authentication which leaves cookies. Has anyone tried this?

I'm in the midst of figuring out how to do authentication with cookies. The only way I can see to get ZPublisher to work intelligently with cookies is to hack the "unauthorized" method of the ModulePublisher class so that a login page can be called. One caveat for your project: cookies will only work across servers if the servers share a common domain, e.g.: foo.bar.com and baz.bar.com.
